Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 17 / 342

Moving on to step 2:
342 can be fit into 17 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 17 leaves us with 17.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 178 / 342

On to step 3:
178 divided by 342 is 0 with a remainder of 178.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0

Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 178 and repeat the process: 1787 / 342

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 1787 by 342, we get 5 and a remainder of 77.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 1710 from 1787 to get 77.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 77 and repeat the process: 779 / 342

On to step 5:
779 divided by 342 is 2 with a remainder of 95.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 52.0
Deduct 684 from 779 and we're left with 95.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 95, then carry on: 957 / 342

Step 6:
957 divided by 342 is 2 with a remainder of 273.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 522.0
If we take 684 away from 957, we end up with 273.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 273, then repeat: 2734 / 342

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 2734 by 342, we get 7 and a remainder of 340.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5227.0
Deduct 2394 from 2734 and we're left with 340.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 340, then repeat: 3400 / 342

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 3400 by 342, we get 9 with a remainder of 322.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 52279.0
Subtract 3078 from 3400 to get 322.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 3220 by 342, we get 9 with a remainder of 142.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 52279.9
Deduct 3078 from 3220 and we're left with 142.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1420, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 1420 by 342, we get 4 with a remainder of 52.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 52279.94
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 1368 from 1420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
520 divided by 342 is 1 with a remainder of 178.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 52279.941
If we subtract 342 from 520, we get 178.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1780, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
1780 divided by 342 is 5 with a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 52279.9415
Deduct 1710 from 1780 and we're left with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 700 by 342, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 52279.94152
If we take 684 away from 700, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 342 fits into 160 0 times, leaving a remainder of 160.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 52279.94152
The remainder is 160 after subtracting 0 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1600, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
342 goes into 1600 4 times with a remainder of 232.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 52279.9415204
Deduct 1368 from 1600 and we're left with 232.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
342 can be fit into 2320 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 268.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 52279.94152046
Subtract 2052 from 2320 to get 268.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2680, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 52279.94152046 with a balance of 2.68e-07.
